Cells called astrocytes are about as abundant in the brain as neurons, but scientists have spent much less time figuring out ...

A pipette that can activate individual neurons Miniaturized iontronic micropipettes for precise and dynamic ionic modulation of neuronal and astrocytic activity ...

There are several established principles governing the relationship between neuronal activity patterns and changes in synaptic strength, referred to as "synaptic learning rules." ...

Existing three-dimensional (3D) neuronal culture technology has limitations in brain research due to the difficulty of precisely replicating the brain's complex multilayered structure and the lack of ...

CRISPR construct to genetically ablate the GABA transporter GAT3 in the mouse visual cortex, with effects on population-level neuronal activity. This work is important, as it sheds light on how GAT3 ...

New ultra-sensitive optical instruments can detect high-frequency dynamics of neuronal voltage indicators to image brain activity in mice.

Researchers showed that these changes in neuron activity at the PVT were transmitted to the NAc by measuring neural activity with an optical fiber inserted where the terminals of the PVT axons ...

In humans, the process of learning is driven by different groups of cells in the brain firing together. For instance, when the neurons associated with the process of recognizing a dog begin to fire in ...
